Release 0.4

From Habari Project

Version 0.4 of Habari should (hopefully!) be the last developer release of Habari, making way for Habari to officially reach beta status.

Over 200 commits have been applied to the Subversion repository. Some of these commits represent major functional changes, and some represent really trivial tweaks. Combined, the 0.4 DR release provides a significant improvement in the Habari codebase.

Major enhancements and fixes, in no particular order:

initial media support with silos: simple file, viddler, and flickr support out of the box

improved template file support and fall-back mechanisms in themes

better spam detection in the SpamChecker plugin

admins can now edit comments

on-disk caching is now supported

enhanced use of PHP sessions for data management

enhanced logging for diagnostic purposes

display screenshots on the theme selecton page

ACL and permissions support is included in this release, though not yet being used (stay tuned for 0.5!)

improved support for SQLite databases

improved WordPress import support

improved support for internationalization

properly detect the available PDO drivers, which should simplify the installation process
